Movie Quotes for Lions+for+lambs+

Professor Stephen Malley: [quoting a German General] Nowhere else
  have I seen such lions led by such lambs.

Senator Jasper Irving: OK, lets play this out, we walk and afghan
  reverts back to the Taliban. Only now the Taliban has metastasis
  into something infinitely more vicious and potent because they are
  now 2-0 against superpowers. They butcher the people that helped us
  who voted and were stupid enough to put their faith in our word. So
  call it not only the end of hope for 10s of millions of Afghans but
  the end of American credibility but the end of America as a voice
  of Righteousness in the world. And when we are forced to go back in
  a couple years. We will be faced against a shattered Iraq, a
  hopeless Afghanistan and a nuclear Iran. How many troops are we
  going to need then? I guarantee you will be adding some zeros.

Senator Jasper Irving: Do you want to win the War on Terror? Yes or
  no?

Professor Stephen Malley: But youre never going to be the same
  person you are right now. Promise and potential are very fickle.

Professor Stephen Malley: The decisions you make now, bud, cant be
  changed but with years and years of hard work to redo it... And in
  those years you become something different. Everybody does as the
  time passes. You get married, you get into debt... But youre never
  gonna be the same person you are right now. And promise and
  potential... Its very fickle, and it just might not be there
  anymore.
Todd Hayes: Are you assuming I already made a decision? And also that
  Ill live to regret it?
Professor Stephen Malley: All Im saying is that youre an adult
  now... And the tough thing about adulthood is that it starts before
  you even know it starts, when youre already a dozen decisions into
  it. But what you need to know, Todd, no Lifeguard is watching
  anymore. Youre on your own. Youre your own man, and the decisions
  you make now are yours and yours alone from here until the end.

Janine Roth: We took Iraq? How did I miss that?

  this new strategy into motion now.
Janine Roth: So when does it start?
Senator Jasper Irving: [pauses while looking at his watch] Ten
  minutes ago.

Janine Roth: Wow, you must be panicked.
Senator Jasper Irving: Oh no no no no. Were determined.

Professor Stephen Malley: Youre good with words, Todd. But you know
  what would make them even better? If they had a heartbeat.

Senator Jasper Irving: What I can say is that this strategy has
  patience and determination at its core. It ensures that it puts our
  fighting men in spots where they can face, and fight, and kill the
  enemy, so that we can then go on about rebuilding that country. And
  if it takes ten years, thats how long we stay, we do whatever it
  takes.
Janine Roth: [quoting the Senator] Whatever it takes.
Senator Jasper Irving: Whatever it takes.

Janine Roth: Why did we send 150,000 troops to a country that did not
  attack us, and one-tenth that number to the one that did?

Janine Roth: Till we get the answer.

Todd Hayes: Look, if were gonna spend tax dollars, our tax dollars,
  to help people break the law in a safer way, why dont we have a

  talking.

Christian: God I hate the snow.
Elder Aaron Davis: What are you doing here?
Christian: I came after you. How could you just leave without saying
  anything.
Elder Aaron Davis: Its not my choice, I am being sent home in shame.
  And Im probably going to be excommunicated.
Christian: For a kiss? I mean it was a very nice kiss, but come on.
  We didnt even get to use our tongues.
Elder Aaron Davis: You wouldnt understand.
Christian: Im sorry, Im not very good at this. See, Ive never made
  a fool out of myself in front of anyone before. But Ive never felt
  this way before about anyone in my entire life.
Elder Aaron Davis: What for just some guy you cant have. And next
  week youll be on to your next conquest?
Christian: But what if youre not? Huh? What if everything in my
  entire pathetic life, which I happen to love, has led to this
  point? Right here, right now. What if youre the blinding light in
  the middle of the road that strikes me like that guy, the guy in...
Elder Aaron Davis: The Bible?
Christian: Yeah.
Elder Aaron Davis: Paul.
Christian: Yeah. And what if everything has changed like that... and
  lions lay down with lambs and colors mix with whites. What if
  youre the one that Ive been waiting for my whole life and I let
  you go?
Elder Aaron Davis: You have no idea what Id be giving up.
Christian: Damn it! What is wrong with you? You want revelations
  engraved in gold and angels trumpting down from heaven? But what if
  this is it instead? Me, telling you I love you, right here, in the
  snow? I think that is pretty miraculous. But if you dont... Ill
  go. Ill walk and you can pretend that this was just some
  coincidence. You can pretend there wasnt some reason that we met,
  and that youre sorry I ever walked into you life.
[Christian walk to the door, but it wont open]
Christian: God, I hate the snow.
[Aaron grabs him and gives him a passionate kiss]
